Hi to all reading this. I am the author of the tape that is for sale and I would not recommend buying it. Not because the information is bad, but because so much of the lecture is missing. This tape is a recording of a lecture I presented at a conference many years ago -- a lecture that was very visual in design and never intended for audio only. The company that was hired to record the conference presentations requested the presenters to sign a release giving them power to duplicate the lecture tapes for sale. I thought they would be for sale just at the conference and that would make sense for people who had been there and wanted to review the material. Turns out, the company selling my lecture (and other presenters?) has set their mind to selling copies of my lecture where ever they please. Having signed a blanket release, I foolishly gave them that permission. Please know that I get nothing in the way of a royalty from the sale of this tape . . . and I certainly would not recommend it to anyone since the all important visuals are missing.

Despite being the author of an excellent book on the same topic, Halverstadt's tape falls far short of being any real help to people with ADD. The short tape is full of chitchat about what an amazing person HE is, and all the wonderful jobs HE's had, but doesn't really address the title of ADD & Adult Relationships. He spends endless minutes describing slides on a screen that was in front of him when he made the tape, but that the LISTENER can't even imagine! Segments like this should have been edited out, and other editing gaffs, such as not being able to clearly hear questions from the back of the auditorium, should also never have made it onto the final tape. He hits the mark, however, in describing the sypmtoms and effects ADD has on people (mostly children and adolescents are described) but is really weak on helping adults cope with their ADD problems within a relationship. His main recommendation is to "get help" and medication, from an expert (preferably him, I guess, although he describes how expensive he is and why he will only accept cash up front payment -- "ADD people don't pay their bills!" -- which is an insensitive comment at best). Buy his book, but forget this tape.
